A baby monitor is a very useful item to have in a new babies room. Expecting a baby is a very exciting thing, and getting the babies room ready is one of the highlights of this time. Baby monitors are often something that are not thought of, but are very important, as they enable you to hear baby, regardless of which room either of you are in.
The transmitter part of your 2 part monitor needs to be placed in the baby's room, and you will take the the receiver with you wherever you go in the house. Receivers are usually battery powered to aid mobility, while the transmitter is plugged into an electrical outlet. Most receivers will have back up batteries to be used in the even of a power failure. The distance over which monitors work can vary a lot. Standard ones will transmit around six hundred feet, whilst deluxe models can transmit up to three thousand feet.
It is very important to try out a baby monitor before you buy it. The shop should understand your needs and not have any problems with this. You need to ensure that you hear a clear sound - if you hear static, then try another model. As with most things - you get what you pay for. In this case you should not skimp, as its a very important purchase which will provide peace of mind - not only when your baby sleeps during the day but at nighttime as well.
There are many types of monitors available, which can do many different things. Below are some things to look out for before deciding what you would like to buy.
Battery low indicator light.
Lights up to advise that baby is crying. The monitor will light up more as the baby cries louder. You will be able to see that baby is crying without having the volume up very loud.
Ability to buy extra receivers, to give the added convenience of putting them in different rooms.
Being able to see what baby is doing by having a video option. Some will have a motion detector. - 31376
